Im old enough to remember when AIDS was going to be pandemic. That it only affected gays. Science told me that.
Science tells me a lot of incorrect things. When I was getting my microbiology degree in the 90's science taught us how long it would take to map genomes.
Point is, science is only a collection of data. The earth is a gazillion years old. We have a miniscule data set, then try to project long term.
With all the science and data and analysts, I still get snowed on yearly on days with 0% chance of snow. To pretend we can forecast decades ahead is so egotistical it's laughable. Most of us sit in the shadow of a volcanoes(yellowstone). When she blows there is no point to this. I sit on the Wasatch fault, for 45 years(my life) Scientists have warned the "big one is coming".
We should do what we can to live clean. HOWEVER, the improvements in research and design happen here. It's fueled by cheap energy. I run a truck that gets 9mph. I'd love a fuel efficient rig. But there ain't an electric truck that will haul tons of sheetrock, in 5 degree weather. There's also not a current bush near my hunting camp.
There may someday be, but if that happens it will be researched and financed in the US.
Last. It's always funny how guys who point out the incompetence of the DMV and Postal Service, want those same bureaucrats "solve climate change"
